(For the record, I pick No. 3. There is nothing Disney can do about the flu, just like there is nothing the airlines can do about it. Everybody is going through all these frentic motions for no other reason than to look they they are doing something. If I still had my annual pass, I'd run over right now and hop on Tower of Terror.)

10) Mickey flu masks. Take a standard surgical mask, dye it black, add ears and sell it for $10.

9) Send out the Fantasia mop brigade, invite the TV cameras in for a quick photo-op, then lay them off.

Close down the buffets. God help me, but I continue to eat at Chef Mickey’s despite kids picking their noses before picking their waffles.

Actually, the Japanese are WAY ahead of us when it comes to #10 – they are culturally more respective than Americans and wear masks in public when they are sick, to avoid spreading their germs. In typical synergy and innovation that far outranks anything WDW is willing to spend money on, Tokyo Disneyland already sells Disney-themed masks.
